Top Gear: Season 2 (USA)

Top Gear US is worse than Top Gear UK 1, but far superior than Top Gear UK 2.I've been watching the 4 seasons of TG: US while I wait for "The Grand Tour" AKA, Top Gear: Amazon to come out and while the studio portions are hard to watch (I fast forward through them), the challenges are great. Adam, Rut, and Tanner are younger than Jeremy, Hamster, and Captain Slow so are able to do the challenges that the TG: UK hosts were able to do 8 series ago. I've watched all 24 series of TG: UK and I've laughed out loud probably half a dozen times but I love the chemistry that the hosts have. Watching TG: US, I can say I've laughed hysterically until I was crying and my sides hurt at least 2 dozen times. The TG: US hosts don't quite have the same chemistry together, but individually, are all extremely likable.Season 2 of TG: US has some of the most entertaining challenges out of all 6 seasons of TG: US. Unfortunately, they still were using the TG: UK model (studio and celebrity bits) and those parts fall horribly flat. Thankfully, they abandon them starting in Season 3.I'd probably rank season 2 as my 2nd favorite season of TG: US after season 4.

The first season of the US version of Top Gear was hit and miss. In trying to be an almost exact replica of the British version, too many things felt overly scripted and forced, and tried to shoehorn the three US hosts into being copies of Clarkson, May and Hamster, which they most definitely aren't. Still, they had some good challenges, and their "specials" especially were good fun to watch.Fortunately the US producers of Top Gear quickly realized where their show's strengths lay, and season two (and seasons 3 and 4 after that) are basically nothing but "specials." The hosts thrive in this environment, and quickly become a lot funnier and interesting to watch, especially once their identities get settled and they stick to them, and they don't have to try to be as dry and sarcastic as the British trio.Though the US show still imitates the British show here and there in the types of specials it does, it definitely tries to divest itself from its British idol this season and does a good job of finding its own formula.Really the only downside for this set is that it took WAY TOO FREAKING LONG to come out! :(If you enjoy the British version of Top Gear (and who doesn't? Seriously, who are you people??) and are looking for more, I can heartily recommend Season Two of US Top Gear. I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Wow! What a shock when I recieved my much waited for copy of Top Gear season 2.We have been enjoying the UK version for afew years now and liked the first season of the US verison ok. Im a mother of 8 sons and have street raced cars and had my share of auto shop in high school. I love cars and trucks of all kinds and have passed that onto my boys. So Top Gear was awesome for us. Until I got my second season. Totally uncut and full of the F bomb. It's used by celeberty and host alike. Along with other cuss words. Im just heart sick about this,and really unsure as to how this is out there. Is this the way it aired on T.V.? There are NO warnings on the case and none through Amazon when ordered.I will say Tanner Foust seems to be able to keep his mouth under control. So besides being a amazing driver(which he proves again,an again) he has a better IQ than the other two knuckleheads. At one point Wood looks to the camera and tells his kids its not ok to cheat, unless its to beat your friends. So they get to watch dad cheat and swear. The show seems to not be reviewing cars as much as staging little stunts. So there you have a mothers view and a gear heads view. As for Tanner, he is still fun to watch drive. Just wish my youngest could see it. But its honetly bad enough that I wont let him see it and I will probably donate it to the library with a warning of my own on it. Such a shame...shame on History Channel....shame on Top Gear....shame on those 3 knunkleheads for not being able to control there mouths. SHAME!

Item arrived on the day Amazon said it would. Bought it as a late Valentines gift since the show was a preorder item. My husband enjoys Top Gear, and as always the Second Season was a hit. It's the kind of show that one can sit down and relax to after a hard day, and be humorously entertained.With Adam Ferrara, Rutledge Wood and Tanner Foust, there is never a dull moment as the three showcase vehicles of all makes and models, through insane obstacles and conditions; while more often than not, roadtrips on and offroad are in order for them to complete their unexpected challenges.We love Amazon; for we can get better deals than driving to any Eletronics Department retailer.

These three guys are at least as funny as the UK Top Gear team - in fact I'd go so far to say that Top Gear USA easily beats the quality of some recent Top Gear UK series.Adam, Rutledge and Tanner are heading into "more challenges and less studio time" territory which suits me down to the ground. They seem to get on really well with each other and have settled into their stride now.Forget what anyone says about "Top Gear USA isn't as good as the original Top Gear" - it certainly is.

This is a great season, with great cars. It's fun to watch all the crazy things they do. ALTHOUGH, they do not bleep out ANY swearing in this season, like they did in the first one. So, if you're not a fan of foul language, I don't recommend it, because they swear ALOT.

I have two boys that love cars so I thought these DVD's would be right up their alley. And I was right, they do love them. My husband and I like them also. The one thing I will say is that when these episodes air on T.V. most of the bad words are bleeped out. They are NOT bleeped out on the DVD's so keep that in mind. Other than that, these are great.

Second season just as awesome as the first, if not better! These guys are just hilarious, as well as having a great passion for the cars (and driving obviously!) The challenges are brilliant, and again Top Gear US, unlike UK, mix up every day cars along with supercars! Highly recommend if you like 1. watching Tanner Foust and his skillful driving 2. love cars and 3. have a sense of humour.

Great entertainment if you like original top gear, the USA take on show is refreshingly new.

Scored extra brownie points with the BF, but now have to get him the seasons for these three. Not like the original three stooges. (Clarkson, May, and Hammond) but he isnt complaining. So now I know what is for xmas for him.

Great show me

great

DV's work great, quick delivery
